247 - Former Ipea president and economist Marcio Pochmann highlighted the precariousness of the labor market on Twitter when commenting on the Caged data released by the Ministry of Labor this Friday, the 20th, which indicated a drop of 661 job openings.
"The agricultural sector, with the net creation of 40,9 formal jobs in June 2018, almost compensated for the decline in commerce and industry, which together registered a net loss of 41,5 jobs. The most serious situation was concentrated in the southern region of the country," he wrote.
"Workers with zero-hour contracts are replacing full-time salaried employees. Even with a decrease of 661 jobs in total formal employment in June 2018, Brazil had 2,7 net more registrations of workers with reduced and unstable working hours. Precarious employment is advancing," he added.
